If I crash while racing, GPL crashes to the desktop...not always, but
nine times out of ten.
I think it dates back to when I installed DirectX 8.0 with F1 2001.
Anyone have any ideas?
System is:
Athlon 1GHz
384MB RAM
GeForce2 MX
Win 98
Thanks, Glenn
Try downloading DirectX 8.1 from here:

Thanks for the tip Chris. But tried it and no difference.
BTW, drivers are Detonator 12.41 if that helps shed any light.
Couldn't get F1 2001 to work properly with anything else.

(decrease it) has helped some folks.

It's okay now. I took the plunge and removed GPL and re-installed it.
Fortunately I had all my add-ons backed up.
Thanks anyway Chris, and thanks to Joachim (no it wasn't the GPLEA Eagle
either!) who emailed me.
